Potted Impatiens

Julee from Verve is having a release party tonight. If you haven't seen the previews, take a peek at the Verve blog. Looks like some really beautiful stamp sets are on the way.This is a sketch that was posted yesterday to win a set. I had fun making this cardand it came together very easily. I first chose my image andthen went to my new BasicGrey Pocelain dp & removed a few pages.

So easy to get a card together with these 6 X 6 paper pads. I stamped my image in Memento tuxedo black right onto the dp and coloured with Copics. I am a newbie when it comes to using these that I just bought last week (the pastels set) so it had to be real simple colouring, as you can see. I stamped the bees from the same set onto velum and coloured theses too with a Copic and also applied pearl white Lumiaire to the wings. I cut out the potted image and mounted onto a square of the same sheet of Porcelain and then framed that with a square of the beautiful "zig zag" dp. I also added towards the bottom of the card, some K & Co adhesive paper ribbon that I thought went well with this vintagey feel and then took a strip of the polka dotted Porcelain paper and made a scalloped edge to place over that. That's it. Thanks for taking a peek! Ch{{rs~ Chriss

I have been gardening almost all of my life and stamping for 10+ years. At night, you can find me knitting almost every night of the year in front of a tv show. We have 2 older children, a daughter 28 yrs. old and a son 23 yrs. old. Our pets are an Australian shepherd mini (Rileigh), a conure (Cappy) and we are taking care of DD's cat, Pearl, as her apartment allows only one pet and she has the Boston Terrier, Elmo .
